it's a touch warm

summer is in full swing out here in the desert-land: 106, give or take some degrees.

and there's lots of folks and lots of movement in spite of the heat. kolmi and paul are officially moved in, cindy and maaka are back from their wedding, and mike and gabe are doing their boy thing, whatever that is. currently kolmi is consolidating spices, making her move in all the more real (she's already schooling me in the ways of grinding and mixing ones own spices), warren and maaka are constructing a shower behind the kitchen, mike's scraping one of the 300 hides he brought with him (his fingers are acquiring more bandages as the days pass), gabe's probably building a trap or making a pump drill, and cindy's being pregnant. and then there's me and angus in the sweltering heat of the office trailer.

arriving on the coastal
side of things
cool salty breezes
whispered
through my Pinyon
smoked hair
and I
could already feel
the softness of my skin returning.
true enough,
it is a bit warm
in Cuyama
and perhaps
that has a bit to do
with the blazing sun
and thin mountain air
or the ominous clouds
appearing with the midday
wind
and perhaps
it has a bit to do
with families
and children
and friendship
for indeed
my skin browned
and dust layers
my toes
like
peanut butter and jelly
and
my heart is wrapped
fully with
abundance and
love
and so much
thanksgiving

love you Cassie!
Aloha,
Ruby
